Thanksgiving pardon: Musk gives suspended Twitter accounts a second chance

Elon Musk made his own Thanksgiving pardon and decided to give suspended Twitter accounts a second chance. After conducting a survey on the social network, the CEO announced that the suspended accounts will be reinstated next week.

"The people have spoken. The amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei," Musk tweeted at the end of the poll that garnered 72.4% of votes in favor of pardoning suspended accounts.

This is not the first time the manager has used Twitter polls when making important decisions. Last week, for example, he removed the lifetime suspension from the account of Donald Trump following a poll in which 51.8% of voters agreed that the former president should regain access to his profile:

Musk, in favor of releasing information on censorship of 'New York Post' over Hunter Biden case

On the other hand, Musk spoke again about the censorship of the New York Post for publishing the Hunter Biden laptop case. When a user tweeted that Musk "should make public all internal discussions about the decision to censor" the article about Joe Biden's son's laptop in the interest of transparency, the CEO was clear: "This is necessary to restore public trust."

Elon Musk had previously taken a position in favor of not censoring the case, which was published two years ago by the New York Post and cost the newspaper its cancellation on Twitter. In April 2022, the billionaire claimed that "suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate."
